5HTP opinions?

Been going through some serious stuff. I'm just happy that I'm on a constructive path nowadays, rather than the destructive one I was on before. Still, what I am doing is not enough.

When I was a kid, I would get eczema rashes on my hands and forearms. They basically look like red patches on your skin, it's dry and looks terrible. Lotion doesn't help at all, nothing really does. The doctors, when I was a kid said that in times of stress, I would break out in these rashes. I have them right now and it sucks. My hands feel terrible.

The only thing I've found, that truly helps is marijuana. But I can't smoke anymore, at least for now. Until I can move out, then I might start.

When I say serious stuff I mean depression.

I've been here for like a month and see a lot of smart people here. Can anyone weigh in possibly?

I guess I'm just unhealthy. People say this stuff is like a miracle but I'm not so quick as to put serotonin boosters in to my body.

I have taken 5HTP in the past. I take GABA twice a day (I split a 750mg tab in half). Chills me out/calms me down/relieves anxiety but it does not make me tired.

Yes it was. Sorry, your response was vague. I took 5HTP back in the late 90's after partying all night on X (back when I was a youngin). It would basically level out my serotonin levels, making me less depressed, etc. That was the extent of my use with 5HTP.

Yeah E can really burn out your serotonin for a day or two lol. I think I'm definitely going to order some though, worth a shot.
